With today’s the climate crisis, debates around degrowth have been reinvigorated: many major figures such as Noam Chomsky, Yanis Varoufakis and Anthony Giddens have expressed support for the idea. Others, especially business leaders, view degrowth as completely unthinkable, arguing that growth is an economic necessity and any threat to that not only undermines business, but basic societal functioning.
The concept of degrowth dates back to the 1970s, when a group of French intellectuals led by the philosopher Andre Gorz proposed a simple idea: In response to mounting environmental and social problems, they suggested that the only real solution was to produce and consume less — to shrink our economies to cope with the carrying capacity of our planet. The proposal was considered by many at the time to be too radical.

For nearly a quarter century, Jian Wu — along with his wife and siblings — owned and operated Salt Lake City's Cafe Anh Hong.
Located in a strip mall at 1465 S. State St., the cafe initially served as a gathering place for Chinese immigrants. Over time, it attracted a diverse group of diners who deemed it one of the best restaurants in Utah to enjoy steamed pork buns, shrimp dumplings and other small plates, called dim sum.
Cafe Anh Hong was a place for the community to celebrate Chinese New Year. It became a regular stop for travelers headed to and from Yellowstone National Park. It even hosted dignitaries from Salt Lake City's " Sister City" of Keelung, Taiwan .

To Be More Data Driven, Look for the Right Business Partner
When it comes to building a more data-oriented organization, it can be smart to pool resources. A large, established business that partners with a nascent technology startup stands to benefit from collaborating with emerging technologies. In return, a startup could gain clout and support from its larger partner, while it continues to grow its brand and expand operations. One reason partnerships are so attractive is because they can offer the flexibility to walk away.
Data-driven insights are essential for companies that want to optimize their operations or introduce a new product or service, like a tailored customer experience. However, some companies lack the tools to analyze their data, even though a rich supply is available. Other companies have the resources for analysis but lack the abundance of data needed for quality insights.
Lincoln man behind bars after allegedly shooting at a business - 47abc
According to the report, 50-year-old Greg R. Harding was refused service at a business located in the 700 block of Norman Eskridge Highway in Seaford because employees believed he was too inebriated to enter the business. When he was refused entry, Harding reportedly left the business, drove his vehicle up to the front door, took out a shotgun, fired a round off into the front door of the business, and then drove off.
Seaford police arrived on the scene after the Lincoln resident had already left, however the Greenwood Police Department and Delaware State Police were able to find him in the Milford area. While searching Harding’s car police found a 12-gauge shotgun and a 9mm Handgun.
China coronavirus: It's still far from business as usual
BEIJING – Two weeks after the Lunar New Year holiday was originally supposed to end, Chinese businesses are still getting up to speed as the country deals with disruptions from a highly contagious virus.
In many places, businesses were scheduled to resume work this past Monday, but a variety of data indicates progress has been slow as the virus remains an unresolved concern. Many local governments have also imposed strict restrictions on entering certain areas and requiring quarantines of at least two weeks for people who have returned from out-of-town.
